Hey everyone,

I have a bit of a problem which i cant seem to find the answer to.

I bought a damaged r33 s2, Im a panel beater my self so i have fixed the damage on my own. Now i seem to have a problem with the car running with out a problem.

The engine starts but alot of black smoke just keeps coming out from the exhaust and it cuts out as if one of the spark plugs are not working (or a coil problem). I checked all the plugs and coils and they were all fine, then after letting it run for about half an hour to see if the smoke will stop the car just turned off on its own. So I changed the spark plugs and they were burnt out on the tips. When i put new ones i thought to my self i would change the oil and oil filter at the same time. So i did all that but still the same problem.

I dont want to keep the car running for a long period because my guess is that its going to burn the plugs out again.

I asked around and a few people said its my coils, but my own thoughts to that was then why would it be blowing all that black smoke? Then another person said it can be one of my fuel sensors, saying its burning too much fuel thats why my plugs were burning out. So i thought i would ask another mechanic and this bloke said that it could be my air intake sensor.

So i would like to get some help off anyone i can if possible. Thanks.

yeah well its super rich....so i guess thats a good place to start diagnosing from... check the base timing... also check the diagnosis codes from the ecu...

Hey mate,

would you know how to check the base timing or the diagnosis of the ecu, or anywhere in sydney i can get it done? I like to play around with my car my self and feel good about working on it so yeah

im no expert but try resetting the ecu...... its cheap and quick and you'll have a result in a few mins

to reset ecu unhook the negative battery cable and turn the lights on and press the brake for a minute to drain all the power stored in the ecu so it will loose all current memory stored in it.

(dont forget to turn off lights before connecting battery up)

also does the engine shake or sound like a wrx when idle????? if so then it might also be running rich and have a spark problem that may be hard to detect,,,,,

Check the pins in the coil plug - make sure you haven't bent one out of alignment.

yes yes i agree..... it it either the ecu or something to do with the coils im racking my brain here and they most plausable still.....

and since the car is ideling like a wrx and is shakeing, whatever the prob is is making the spark f**k up.....

also check the grey clips that connect to the coils, when i had my sparks changed the idiot mechanic just connected these clips but didnt clip them in place so they just vibrated loose after a few days and made my wrx sound......

should have done it myself the first time but i thought he knew what he was doing..... lol now i know how to do it for next time

Hey guys,

ok i tried the whole reset thing. the check engine light blinked 5 slow and 5 fast. so im guessing that means things are alright. But i also had a thought because of the car accident im missing a pipe for the intercooler? so theres a pipe coming out from the engine but not connecting to the cooler because its missing? im told this can also be a reason why?

lol thats funny :D

To build boost the turbo relies on the piping to transfer it to the plenum, if there is no pipe there you cant have boost and the motor is drawing air through that pipe instead of the air filter so the air flow meter is not in the loop, frankly I dont know how it is running at all.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
